Beijing will require all arrivals to provide a negative nucleic acid report and green health code before checking in to hotels starting Sunday as the city remains on the alert and continues with its highest-level response to the coronavirus outbreak, the Global Times reports. Visitors’ tests should be taken within seven days of arrival and their nationwide health code or Beijing health code should show no abnormality. Visitors are also required to register a contact person in Beijing and cooperate with hotels’ health management, Zhou Weimin, an official from the Beijing Bureau of Culture and Tourism, said at Friday’s press conference. Hotels are responsible for checking guests’ health reports and monitoring their body temperatures twice a day, Zhou said. According to the press conference, local police will strengthen their crackdown on illegal activities including filing fake information and fabricating nucleic acid test reports.
